It's about time for a template change. I really like this new one. Also time for a new motto. Guess where that is inspired from?
Nintendo and Sony press conferences today....should be interesting.
Also..working on a project, will try to finish ASAP for y'all to see...or hear.

E3 Day 1: Micro$oft and more.
Things that stuck out:
- How crappy Micro$oft's line-up in their presentation were. Everything announced....everybody knew (Gears of War 3, Fable 3, Halo: Reach). Oh and there was the New Xbox. It looks sleeker..and bleck. I guess they took Chad Warden's advice. Oh and please, take your failed Kinect product and go work on your Xbox 720 already. Your reign in this era of gaming is done. Admittedly though, there is a sort of novelty and intrigue you get when you look at Kinect...but you also get a filling of kitsch and gimmick. Catch 22.
- EA had Crysis 2 3D, using old school 3D tech (3D glasses). Kinda cool, but nothing new. Looks good though, but I can already see the fan boy comparisons of PC to console.
- EA also had MMA. As much as I love the UFC Und9isputed series, MMA is lookin' fine.
The Last Emperor and The Natural are revealed as the front-men of the game.
I didn't catch Ubisoft. I'll comment on it once I catch the videos.
Nintendo and Sony tomorrow and more.

E3 has commenced!
E3....once again. It just feels like yesterday since I watched E3 2009.
Anyways, I'm psyched to see what the future holds for video games.
First thing I saw and that stuck out is Marvel VS Capcom 3. The visual art style and graphics (not sure if it is in-game) are top notch. Amazing. Impressive. Etc.
Dante and Deadpool have arrived.
Who the hell is that?
Also Rock Band 3 game play with the new modes and instrument. I am real excited for this one too.
There are a ton of games that I did not mention, just cuz of the sheer amount of them. Lookin' forward to Sony's conference and all the other game announcements.
Microsoft's conference starts soon and it's lookin' thinner than an anorexic girl on a diet. Haha.
Wish I could attend E3 live at least once in my life.

@Alvin's blogpost: "Life in HD"
That my good friend, is an excellent documentary series.
There are a few scenes borrowed from other excellent BBC Nature series (such as blue planet), but man....it's larger than life.
Remember my other recommendations for documentaries.
Good choice though.

Acrophobia.
It has been a lengthy day.
Went up the CN tower for the first time..finally! After living here for 9 years or so I finally conquered (took the elevator) up that thing. The result: magnificent. The view is spectacular and belittles everything you thought belittled you when you are ground level and compared to the CN tower, well..it makes you feel insignificant and humbled. I also got through some of my fear of heights today. The ride up was absolutely terrifying and conversely, the ride down was quite easy.
After the free-standing structure, we ate at an all you can eat Japanese restaurant. It was iite.
Then, we headed over to the steam town brewery, which we never got to see due to time constraints.
Lastly, we chilled at Justin's, watched Jackass, NBA finals game 3, Pizza (from...guess......Pizza Pizza) and to top off the amazing day: Scrabble. I won the last game.
That's it. Finally a day lived well in the summer.
The time is at hand; time to pull the trigger.

P.S. Will update with pictures and media later.

Sinkhole
This thing is insane. Like...holy crap. The power of earth and her elements man. Holy crap. Tropical storm Agatha hit Guatemala and apparently caused this sink hole. A huge building was apparently swallowed along with the entire intersection.
Check out my new tunes. That's some good shit.
